PER CURIAM:
Keiria Mohamed Abdulkadir, a native and citizen of
Eritrea, petitions for review of an order of the Board of
Immigration Appeals (“Board”). The order denied her motion to
reconsider the Board’s previous order affirming the immigration
judge’s denial of her applications for asylum and withholding of
removal.
We note that Abdulkadir dedicated her entire brief to
rearguing the merits of her asylum and withholding of removal
claims and failed to raise any arguments regarding the validity of
the Board’s denial of her motion to reconsider. Thus, we find that
none of her claims are properly before this court because she
failed to file a timely petition for review from the Board’s
initial order of February 21, 2003.
Accordingly, we are constrained to deny the petition for
review on the reasoning of the Board. See In re: Abdulkadir, No.
A75-350-004 (B.I.A. June 18, 2003). We dispense with oral argument
because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in
the materials before the court and argument would not aid the
decisional process.
PETITION DENIED
